She's the Welsh singer being tipped for stardom who has taken an unconventional route to the top via a goose farm in Pembrokeshire , a fashion house in Paris and one of the world’s biggest record companies.

We’ll soon be hearing a lot more about Betsy, the Pembrokeshire-born, aspiring pop star with a voice that can stop traffic, who has signed to Warner Brothers Records .

The glamorous songstress’ single Lost & Found is the most played song on Radio 2 right now - and many industry tastemakers have fallen under her spell.

However, growing up on a goose farm the 25-year-old said she could only dream up of career in music. Back then it seemed nothing but a far-fetched ideal.

“My parents had always been farmers,” she said. “We lived in a village called Nevern which is not far from Newport in Pembrokeshire.

“The farm next door used to have a goose business which I worked at during all of my teenage years over Christmas and during school holidays. Then my mother bought the business it moved a few fields down to my mum’s house.”

“I used to do all the plucking and gutting and stuff in the sheds. It was pretty full on and quite stinky.”

A keen singer in school and member of her choir, Betsy was enraptured with music from a young age.

“It was everywhere in the house,” she recalled. “My dad and uncle played in a local band together. They also used to play guitar around the campfire and piano at home. My dad had a huge record collection that everything from Vivaldi to Bob Dylan in it. So, I’ve always been obsessed with music.

“However, it was a massive step being in the music industry coming from Pembrokeshire it seemed so far away.

“Getting yourself into the music industry even if you live in London is difficult anyway. It’s all about luck and chance and who you meet.”

Betsy said her mum was keen to have a fall back option, so she could support herself. With a head full of dreams, she landed a place studying fashion design at Central St Martins in London - a world leading centre for art and design education.

“People did laugh and say to me ‘so you chose fashion as your fall back plan?’ Which is ridiculous isn’t it. At the time it seemed the more sensible of the two. Music and fashion has always gone hand in hand anyway.”

"There were lots of celebrities, sensational parties and lot of free booze"

It was midway through her course that Betsy secured an internship with Paris fashion house Balenciaga and so impressed her employers they offered her a job.

“It was pretty amazing,” said Betsy.

“There were lots of celebrities, sensational parties and lot of free booze, It was also very long hours and you have to be completely devoted to the job. I couldn’t do that and try and do music. because you have to give yourself to it.

“It was always eating away at me that I wasn’t doing music, which was ridiculous.”

Quitting her job in Paris, her friends and family thought she was crazy, but the single-minded singer retreated to her brother’s battered old caravan in Pembrokeshire, mastered Garageband and produced a stunning demo. That’s when fate played its hand.

“I sent the demo to every man and his dog. I heard nothing from anyone. My friend from home, her brother works in a PR company in London. And my now manager walked in saying I’m looking for singers. He handed him my demo and said this is my sister’s friend from Wales you might like her. That’s how it all happened. It was very bizarre.”

Betsy signed with Warners in the UK and Colombia in the US and the rest, as they say, is history.

Betsy's idols - Annie Lennox and Grace Jones

Now the extravagantly-larynxed, distinctly stylish singer who said she takes inspiration from Annie Lennox and Grace Jones, will play her debut Welsh show next month at Cardiff’s Swn Festival.

“I can’t wait. My mother’s bought tickets, my brother’s bought tickets , my aunty has bought tickets,” laughed Betsy. “They’ll all be down the front. I hope they can fit them all in.”

Swn Festival is held at various venues in Cardiff between October 21 and 23. For tickets and more information, see www.swnfest.com
